Saudi prince: Trump 'true friend of Muslims'

Saudi Arabia's deputy crown prince is singing US President Donald Trump's praises after their meeting, calling him a "true friend of Muslims" and claiming the leader's immigration ban does not target Islam.

Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman met with Trump at the White House on Tuesday, in what his senior adviser deemed a "historic turning point" in US-Saudi relations.

Gearing up for the mother of all wars

Tensions are building up. It is as if several key actors are collaborating viciously to send the world into a catastrophe. Will it be a third world war, as some pundits have started talking about, or will it be the "mother of all wars" - as the propaganda minister of the devastated dictator Saddam Hussein of yesterday's Iraq talked about while the Americans almost occupied all of Baghdad?

The Sunni Alliance?

Can there be anything more absurd? Well, probably. After all, the world is going through such a period that every day the level of absurdity is being carried to new heights. Still, the creation of a Sunni Alliance led by Saudi Arabia with the aim of fighting Sunni, Salafist, jihadist, Islamist terrorism might constitute a new and hard-to-be-surpassed world record in absurdity.

Why do we bash the West but not Saudi Arabia?

We are talking about Saudi Arabia. 

It is a country that is filthy rich and sends its petro dollars to U.S. banks. 

The members of the family live in the utmost luxury. 

They enjoy palaces that are much bigger than ours. Saudi Arabia has closed its door. It does not allow even one desperate refugee to pass through the doors of the country.
